Abstract

Salah satu aktivitas yang belum tergarap secara maksimal di pondok pesantren salafiyah adalah kemampuan mentransformasikan pengetahuan atau kajian-kajian islam moderat ke dalam bentuk tulisan. Kajian-kajian mengenai keislaman merupakan menu sehari-hari di pondok pesantren salafiyah seperti Pondok Pesantren Al Falah Ploso Kediri. Seperti pondok pesantren salafiyah pada umumnya Pondok Pesantren Al Falah merupakan lembaga pendidikan yang berfokus pada kajian keislaman dan pengembangan karakter bangsa. Sangat disayangkan bila kajian-kajian keislaman hanya berkutat di pesantren dan tidak bisa diakses oleh publik. Oleh sebab itu diperlukan cara agar publik bisa mengakses kajian-kajian keislaman yang berasal dari pesantren. Salah satu cara adalah melalui tulisan yang dipublikasikan dan bisa dinikmati oleh public. Tentu saja bahasa yang digunakan adalah bahasa yang mudah dipahami oleh public. Kemampuan menulis tentu saja tidak bisa muncul begitu saja, tetapi harus ada proses latihan yang konsisten dan terus menerus. Untuk membuat para santri mahir menulis artikel popular, maka diperlukan perlatihan yang intensif. Melalui perlatihan ini diharapkan santri Pondok Pesantren Al Falah mampu mentransformasikan pengetahuan islam yang ramah atau islam rahmatan lil alamin kepada publik.

Abstract

This comparative study investigates gender-based differences in listening anxiety and its relationship with listening performance on the Test of English Proficiency (TEP) among first-year English undergraduates. Listening anxiety, which includes components of Tension and Worry and a Lack of Confidence, is a significant psychological barrier that can negatively impact performance in high-stakes testing environments. The study aims to analyze the differences in listening anxiety and TEP listening scores between male and female students. It also seeks to determine if the strength of the relationship between anxiety and performance differs significantly across genders. A quantitative comparative design was used with 60 first-year English students (23 males, 37 females) from a university in Surabaya. Data were collected using the Foreign Language Listening Anxiety Scale (FLLAS) and students' official TEP listening scores. The analysis involved independent samples t-tests, Pearson correlation, and Fisher’s r-to-z transformation to compare groups and correlation strengths. The findings revealed that female students reported significantly higher overall anxiety (M = 74.05) compared to male students (M = 61.96). This difference was significant across both anxiety sub-factors: Tension and Worry (p = 0.001) and Lack of Confidence (p < 0.001). However, there was no significant gender difference in listening performance scores (Male M = 48.43; Female M = 45.95). A significant negative correlation between anxiety and performance was found for both males (r = –0.666, p = 0.001) and females (r = –0.509, p = 0.001), but the strength of this correlation did not significantly differ between genders. While female students experience greater listening anxiety, its negative impact on test performance is consistent for both genders. The results highlight the need for pedagogical strategies that address both emotional tension and self-confidence to help all students manage anxiety in high-stakes testing situations.

Abstract

Studies of cultural narratives as indirect speech acts and persuasive strategies in health promotion remain limited. This study aims to discover how "Go’et," a cultural narrative of Manggarai Community Indonesia, is used as an indirect speech act and persuasive strategy in health promotion. It is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. The study was conducted in the Rego dialect community, Manggarai, Indonesia. The study participants were chosen purposively based on predetermined criteria. The participants included healthcare providers, customary leaders, and community figures. Data from the study were collected using in-depth interviews, observation, documentation and Focus Group Discussion. The study indicated that the cultural narratives of Go’et in the Manggarai community in Indonesia are relevant to the context of health promotion. The cultural narratives are constructed in imperative sentences with the illocutionary power of advising, recommending and hoping. Using indirect speech acts through "Go’et" has become a persuasive strategy for shaping people's perceptions, beliefs and behavior.  Healthcare providers can adopt such expressions to positively influence patients' emotional states, enhancing their psychological readiness to recover or maintain good health. The study contributes to understanding how cultural narratives function as indirect speech acts in non-Western communities, particularly within the Manggarai context of Indonesia. By highlighting Go’et as a culturally embedded form of communication, the study expands the theoretical discourse on indirectness, politeness strategies, and persuasive communication in health promotion. Moreover, the study provides valuable insights into community-based health promotion strategies by emphasizing the compelling role of traditional discourse.
